"Feasible or not, this is kinda interesting."

It is. And travel agents will have to go to scientific calculators to be able to figure frequent flyer miles for their well travelled clients.

Heh...

Still doesn't make me long for space travel. Claustrophobia takes on a whole new dimension when you really, really can't get out of a ship. Even planes bug me for that reason, but in space? No thanks.

My plan is to wait until everyone else leaves to colonize other planets. Then I'll claim, say, all of Montana.

Because evolution is a lie, and God actually created all that exists, any theory outside of this will fall flat. Since the fall of man everything has been deteriorating and "dying". It has been documented that the speed of light is slowing down, also. Here is just an some historical facts of astronomical studies of the speed of light.

The early measurements typically tracked the eclipses of the moons of Jupiter when the planet was near the Earth and compared it with observations when then planet was farther away. These observations were standard, simple and repeatable, and have been measured by astronomers since the invention of the telescope. These are demonstrated to astronomy students even today. The early astronomers kept meticulous notes and sketches, many of which are still available.

Setterfield expected to see the recorded speeds grouped around the accepted value for light speed, roughly 299,792 kilometers /second. In simple terms, half of the historic measurements should have been higher and half should be lower.

What he found defied belief: The derived light speeds from the early measurements were significantly faster than today. Even more intriguing, the older the observation, the faster the speed of light. A sampling of these values is listed below:

In 1738: 303,320 +/- 310 km/second
In 1861: 300,050 +/- 60 km/second
In 1877: 299,921 +/- 13 km/second
In 2004: 299,792 km/second (accepted constant)

Setterfield teamed with statistician Dr. Trevor Norman and demonstrated that, even allowing for the clumsiness of early experiments, and correcting for the multiple lenses of early telescopes and other factors related to technology, the speed of light was discernibly higher 100 years ago, and as much as 7 percent higher in the 1700s. Dr. Norman confirmed that the measurements were statistically significant with a confidence of more than 99 percent.

Setterfield and Norman published their results at SRI in July 1987 after extensive peer review.

If this is true than any speed we can imagine is possible, since at the creation, light was instantaneous. All these theories of alternate dimensions are nonsense.
